What sun protection is safe for my Sphynx cat who's always outside?

Hello, there aren't any approved veterinary products, but you could find some at a local petstore. Cats that have white are more prone to developing skin cancer, however the incidence of this is very low especially in indoor cats. You should not stress to intervene with sunscreen as limiting your cat's time outside could be just as a efficient. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Sun screen will likely not do anything to help unless you are placing it on hairless areas, and I would be concerned if there are chemicals in it that may harm your cats if they groom themselves. Instead, providing your cats with a shaded, cool area to relax, and providing plenty of fresh drinking water should help.

Hi, yes I would definitely recommend to get some sun cream and you can try a sun cream for cats called Dermascent on Amazon UK or use baby suncream which is fragrance free and zinc free (I think I have used one from Boots before). Hope this helps !

Max is beautiful!! It is wonderful you are thinking of his delicate skin. I would look into the windows that you have to see how much UV light they block. It certainly helps vs having him lay outdoors in the sun, but if you want more protection you could also add a UV film to the windows he lays in most often. Putting a small amount on his exposed areas is unlikely to hurt him, but I prefer barrier methods as to reduce his exposure to chemicals. I hope this helps!

Great question! It's is a very good idea to use sunscreen on Pablo this summer. I would recommend using Vetbasix, which is specially formulated for cats and dogs. You can get it in Australia online or in a pet store.

Excessive sun exposure can certainly be damaging to the cells in the skin in both humans and animals. Dogs can be predisposed to melanoma, hemangiomas and certain auto-immune disorders of the skin. It is recommended to use sunscreen lotion / spray that is intended for use in animals that will be in excessive amounts of sun. Epi Pet has a product for sun protection that is a lotion which can be applied to the areas of the animal where there is less hair (nose, abdomen, etc.). I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Sink is only a problem if ingested, so as long as you keep the creams and lotions out of the birds reach I don't anticipate that it would cause a problem. In general I strongly recommend the book birds for dummies by Brian Speer and Gina spadafori as a great resource for new pet bird owners. Excuse the title it just happens to be part of that Series. Another good resource is that association of avian veterinarians at www.Aav.org. Good luck and thank you for using PetCoach.
